Here’s the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reporting on a fun Mavericks-related underdog story:
The recognition just keeps coming for Yogi Ferrell.
A week after being named the Dallas Mavericks’ starting point guard, Ferrell was selected Thursday as the Western Conference rookie of the month for February.
This is the first time a Mavericks’ player was chosen rookie of the month since Devin Harris in November of 2004.
In 11 games last month, Ferrell averaged 12 points, 4.7 assists, 3.3 rebounds, shot 41.1 percent from the field and 41.2 percent from 3-point range…
After Ferrell sparked the Mavericks to victories over San Antonio, Cleveland and Philadelphia, owner Mark Cuban skipped a second 10-day contract and instead signed Ferrell to a deal worth $208,000 the rest of this season and $1.3 million next season.
